Back in the early 1960's at my old Gliding Club, a member who had his own Winery was taking a bloke for a passenger flight.

'Want a stall turn? asked the pilot. The passenger agreed rather enthusiastically and the aerobatic followed.

'Bloody Hell...Don't do that again, Please!!!' was the reaction from the passenger.

"What's the matter, I thought you agreed for a Stall turn?"

"Oh, I thought you meant a sauterne!"
You only live twice. Once when you're born. Once when you've looked death in the face.

The song 'Betty Davis Eyes' ....I always thatought was 'She's got better days aside'

Lay Down Sally....I always though was 'Way down South'

"Our lips are sealed'.....SIL always sings as 'Alex the Seal'

And when driving thtough inductrial estates....I always do a double take when passing a 'Shopfitter'

Another thread just reminded me....

'Venus' by Bananarama: "I'm your Venus...I'm the fire....your desire"

I always heard it as "I'm your penis....I'm the fire....in your vagina."

Should've twigged I was mis-hearing it since its sung by 3 chicks. #-o

"The Ants are my friends, they're blowing in the wind..." - I knew Bob Dylan was a bit out there, but his friends were way out ...

And I never understood Pat Benatar's invitation to "Hit me with your pet shark ..."

Katie Melua did a wonderful parody of one of her songs ......... it's worth listening to (and watching as she's far from ugly!).

While shepherds washed their socks by night
All gathered round the tub
A cake of Knights Castile came down
And they began to scrub

At a meeting with Airbus in Toulouse, discussing the launch of the A340 - yes it was that long ago - with a group of Mancunians. It went something like this:
Mancunian: "So what time is the launch then?"
Frenchman: "The lunch - it is at 1230 monsieur."
Mancunian: "1230 is an unusual time."
Frenchman: "Why unusual?"
Mancunian: "Because that's normally lunchtime."

Cue puzzled looks from both sides until Tango steps in and unravels the misunderstanding and explains that Mancunians do not speak proper English! :))

For some time the radio kept playing a song where I could swear the refrain is "fcukin' @sshole". Turned out to be Funky Nassau.

Song "Someone To Lean On" - I kept hearing "Barkis, fire a gun." Wondering who "Barkis" is. Sounds like a butler. Looked up the words. "Blow a kiss, fire a gun."
